So today we're expecting company, who may or may not come with toddlers. I'm debating whether or not we need to put the action figures away, or make them in some way inaccessible.
It's not that I don't want them played with. The ten-year-old's friend is here frequently and they often play with the figures. They take reasonable care with them, which is all I ask.
But toddlers and very young children are different.
There's a reason that these things are for ages 3 and up, you know, and that reason is that parts can come off and be swallowed.
And if, say, Plastic Man loses a hand and it ends up in somebody's diaper, well, I'm not entirely sure I'd want it back.
EDIT: Plas is fine. Baron Zemo, on the other hand, spent some time with his head stuck in the mouth of a small child. He is uninjured, but undoubtedly traumatized. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, right?

I completely sympathize. For, Rhino just got out of the Super Villain Hospital with a broken hip last Sunday. A visit from neighbor friends now has him back with his leg broken off completely. Poor Rhino. I'm glad the Baron escaped such a fate.

Mighty Mite isn't allowed to play with action figures without supervision -- not because she crams them in her mouth, but because she tends to beat the snot out of 'em. :-)
